The role of titanium and niobium in stainless steel
Austenitic stainless steel, composed of chromium and nickel, is prone to a type of corrosion called intergranular corrosion when heated in the temperature range of 450 to 800°C. This phenomenon occurs along the grain boundaries. Intergranular corrosion is commonly attributed to the precipitation of Cr23C6 in the form of carbon, leading to chromium depletion in […]
